A New YORK man, signing him
self "A Democratic Tariff Reformer,"
has addressed an open letter through
the New York Herald to Messrs
Henry Watterson, John u. Carlisle
and Roger @. Mills, in which he urges,
for The sake OF continued democratic
supremacy, that there be no attempt
to reform the tariff this winter. lie
regards the matter from the stand
point of expediency. What is the use
of democratic party II 1t makes no
effort to reform admitted abuses!
This tariff iniquity cannot be COM
promised with forever. Democrats
must fight it in season and out OF
season, and try to rid the country OF
it. We must get our tariff down to q
revenue basis Bolton journal.
The above is sensible, Democratic
and patriotic. 1t is all very well for
certain ambitious leaders TO talk
about concliating this wrong ana
that species of legalizod robbery Tor
the sake of holding eastern Democrats
and making sure of party success i'll
1888. But what is party success worth
if a few official stations are all that
comes with it. Such victory" is a
hollow mockery-a sell-out to the OPP
position. 1t Is this policy which has
influenced tho party the last dozen
years in compromising itself on the
tariff and other less important ques-
tions for the sake of winning, not the
success OF principe, but offices,
which has caused hundreds of thou
sands of honest farmers and working
men to become dissatisfied with the
party which should be boldly pledged
TO every needed public reform
including tariff reduction, and seek
relief in other new parties. Let
the National Democracy anu the
Democrats in Congress speak out
plainly and align the party on the
right side of these questions and the
thousands who have left the party
will return to it. For fifteen years all
manner of concessions have been
made TO hold together party whose
only well defined idea at al times
seem to be restored union and new
era. The public ought to be con-
WINGED of that by this time; and the
attention and efforts OF the Democ'
racy given to the issues of the day
the most important of all of which is
